VWLife give you guys respect for getting Seaside Vanagon running again & the learning curve you brought us all through.
have fun NEW owner! drive it!
Someone else asked this below: Where is Matt Jackson? (Elephant in the room)
#wheresmattjackson
I dig it.. start a new # ... maybe he'll show back up one day.. for now he is just spending time with his family. Thanks for asking about him.. Tommie
Learned so much from this series. Just got my first Vanagon and I loved watching you go through the systems
They are really amazing campers, so much room and great for headed out to the next campground!
first trip picking up the Van last April, actually took the gas gage at face value, that was a long walk to get gas. another Vanagon owner drove clear over Toronto to help give a hand, and thats the story of ownership, friendly and helping. when you have the Van out it makes people happy, and then all the broken things seem more manageable.
Gary’s happy Seaside is done, I think he was done 6 months ago, I’m sure someone out there is in love with Seaside and take it to the next level.
Glad I could help out in a small way, and help get Seaside on the road again. Thanks for the shout out fellas. You should absolutely sell those shifter tabs on All Metric. There are only two places I know of that sell them, and yours look superior. Great work as always.
Yes! This a certainly a plan to happen soon!
SEASIDE LIVES!!! You guys are the best. Such fun watching you deal with all the hurdles and coming out on the other side. Hooray for Seaside!
Thank you! It was quite a Journey, and that's the best part!
Welcome to my world! Having my 1980 Vanagon for going on 43 years! One thing I can say for certain is, dont think your gonna figure everything out, she has a mind of her own! Thanks for a fun episode ! Its nice to see the gang all back together, minus MJ!
I enjoy the VW comradery you all share. Teamwork all the way! I had a 58 VW panel that had the spare fuel compartment, w/switch located under the driver's seat, and my girlfriend was still worried we were going to run out of gas. She wasn't at all concerned that the panel didn't have no brakes.
I about died when you ran out of gas. I was so excited about it driving. Great job fellas. Going to be a great van for someone. God Bless
Thank you Mark!!!
Seaside Lives!!! Good job guys! Time to accomplish a celebratory dinner!
Yes indeed...that noise you hear is catfish being fried at the Parlour!
I don't have a working VW yet, but my first mechanic experience was on my 57 split beetle when I was 15.
Hey Martin, I'm always burning my fingers too after I grind something on my Bus restoration! Don't feel bad!
I love ya Gary, but its fantastic to see the whole crew again! Your people have missed you!
The Band is back together!
Glad to see Seaside back operational again! Ya'll should carry a little MSR camping bottle of gas when ya'll hop in for these test drives.
Awesome video! Great to have friends with the same interests that can spend a day helping get a project back on the road! Love this video!
Indeed it awesome to have the group we have.. Thanks for hanging out with us!
This was quite entertaining to watch-- because I wasn't busting my own knuckles doing it! 😁😁 But the burning question is: was lunch accomplished?
I think we made a run to Cabo Bob's in there somewhere!!!
Shifting a vanagon feels like stirring a bowl of marshmallows with a fish
Umm..... EXACTLY !!! HA
Glad that Seaside brought your friends together again for this last "push" to find Seaside a new home. For a minute, I thought Jake was pushing all by himself.
It will be good to have room for that next "rough diamond".
yeah there is a fastback to get to. Can't wait. Really enjoy the videos guys.
Fastback is next on the list!! It is gonna be one sweet machine!
Loved this finish to a great project. Thanks guys for taking us on this wonderful (but sometimes frustrating) ride with you. Peace & Love to you all.
Viva Seaside the Vanagon!!!
Thanks for the Flaming Lips quote. I thought these videos couldn’t get any better.
VW LIFE!
Jake, no worries you're day / time is coming...tanks for sharing
Way to go Tommie!!
That Tommie he is so handsome and smart! wait what ?? Just kidding - time and the internet are my best friends. stick with something long enough hopefully we will figure it out ... Thanks for hanging with us Gary! TBS
The shifter and coupling is really poorly designed. I don't say that often for VW's, but in this case it's absolutely true. I changed to an aftermarket billet shifter (Big Shot shifter that you can get from VanCafe) and used GoWesty's shifter coupling on the transaxle. The two together made a world of difference in driveability.
I wished I knew the "REAL' story on early Vangons. My analysis and opinion is VW did not have the Wasserboxer motor ready when they decided to bring out the replacement for the Bay Window Bus in 1980. So the Vanagon got the 2 Liter aircooled motor and things just sort got thrown together from there. I believe the shifter got upgraded in '82 or '83. I imagine somebody out there knows 'the rest of the story'!!!
@@CapnTexan Me too. I have an '86 Doka, and the waterboxer engine is an exercise in poor packaging. For example, you cannot pull the engine without taking apart the throttle body, because they put the throttle position sensor underneath, where you cannot reach it. There are numerous oddities like that throughout the car. I think even when it was ready, the waterboxer that is, it really wasn't ready. It's the hardest VW to work on that I have ever experienced.
Ya need more ceiling clearance so one of them floor lifts would fit. Do the fuel gage not work?? Good video guys. Neat picture for January. 🤤
Yep, the shop doors are just a little short. Been here 22 years, guess its time for a new shop with taller doors!
Need to adjust those lifters. That thing has hydraulic lifters, you should not hear the valve train at all. If it's not an adjustment you may have a bad lifter or two.
Ol Seaside has a holy muffler too which certainly adds to the cacophony of sounds!
SEESide, another Job Well Done! 😇
You all have a lot of fun.
If you aren't having fun, then what's the point??!!
In my best Carl voice from Sling Blade voice "It ain't got no gas in it" Hmmmmm.
Slingblade "ain't no gas innit"
yahummmmm.
GOOD JOB BOY'S😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Hi guys , Nice videos , congratulations , from Costa Rica.
Thank you Emily!!!
License plate 1313,,go figure! Great job guys!!
That explains it all!!!
24:03 Flaming Lips reference!? 👍
I still feel like it has issues with the valves. Out of adjustment, broken spring, flat cam lobe. It just sounds funny on my phone.
it's super ticky for sure. has a rusty exhaust but the hydraulic lifters have been known to take a while to build up pressure. Hopefully the new owners can put some more time in on it. we went in circles for way too long and just was done with it . a bunch of QUITERS! we are ..LOL!
Why even consider going electric if you have 3 friends to push
What happened to Matt Jackson?
Where is Matt Jackson?
Where's Matt Jackson???
Parv
Very entertaining as always. Thanks guys.
Where’s Matt Jackson ???

One particularly noisy lifter?
Ah, the exhaust.
So far the 56$ Ebay special starter is working ?
GOWESTY took care of us with the starter! They SUPERIOR when it comes to supporting the Channel!
Whats up with the scirocco
Which one??!!!! We now have Rocky 5, 11, 12, 13, and 14 !
Mk1
@@shannonmccluney186 Mk1 are becoming more rare to find than a Barndoor Bus!
How do I buy her?
AH. Mariah seaside is already headed to a new home. hopefully they get the last of the small items worked out and enjoy camping and the VAN life for years to come.
Music over rode some of the commentary.
This was intentional. Nothing was really being said but a lot of cuss words.. so .......... no need for commentary at some points. 🥴
Y'all caint hear that valve noise...?!?..😒
OH WE hear it!!! was told it could take a while to build up pressure?? not sure how long "awhile" is.. Hopefully the new owners have success with getting it to quite down.
Matt Jackson? 🤷 sorry to be a pain.
No Pain at all! . MJ is taking some personal time and enjoying his family. Thanks for asking about him :)
The Vanagon still sounds awful guys.
You can't be that cruel and pass it onto someone else I'd take it out the back and just shoot it. 🤣🤣🤣
Old person juice. Unfortunately that comment comes with an unwanted visual.
Life of a camera person/it/he/maybe/thing/operator/buttonpusher/🤔/..... 😂
